Well, we'll let you know more after SciPy '08, but I suspect the answer is that they just want one teensy little wafer-thin operator to do matrix multiplication on numpy arrays or their favorite matrix object. I don't think there are many scientists/engineers/whatnot who want to double the number of operators to learn or who care if the matmult operator works on lists of lists or anything else in the standard library.
